Slab edge reinforcement detailing

I encountered an issue with reinforcement installation on a construction site and there was a discussion regarding the following detail:

r/StructuralEngineering - Slab edge reinforcement detailing

In first drawing, the top reinforcement mesh is placed on top of the U bars, while in another drawing it is below the U bars, meaning the U bars hold both the top and bottom mesh.

Is it critical how this detail is executed?
Can the top mesh be placed on top of the U bars, or does it need to be under the U bars?
Is it sufficient to ensure the proper overlap of bars only?

The design standard being followed is Eurocode 2 (EC2).
